Soho House New York -Three locations to enjoy
With an Every House membership, members can easily hop between SoHo House hotels in the Meatpacking District, Lower East Side, and Dumbo.
A Soho House membership not only gets you into these three locations in New York – and others around the world – it also provides a space where you can learn, work, and play in style.
The Soho House app gives you easy access to rooms, events, classes, and screenings across the city.

Travel
Blacklane – A better way to travel in NYC
Elevate your quick pickup or scheduled transfer with Blacklane’s service in New York.
When you download the Blacklane app, you can book rides immediately to get across town or schedule them in advance for airport transfers or longer-distance rides out to nearby cities, including Philadelphia, Montauk, and Boston.
The app makes it easy to manage your rides whenever you like. Blacklane’s fixed-price rides mean you don’t need to worry about hidden costs when you make a booking.
Health
NYC Covid Safe – A vaccine passport app in New York City
The NYC Covid Safe app is a no-brainer – being able to show digital proof of your vaccination makes moving through the city that much easier.
All you need to do is upload a photo of your CDC vaccination card along with your photo ID and you’re good to go.
Performix – Real-time fitness
Performix House is considered one of the swankiest gyms in New York City, complete with infrared saunas, laundry service, and nutrition plans.
While a membership at the gym is hard to come by – you need to fill out a questionnaire and have a phone interview to be accepted – their app is much easier to access.
It offers real-time workouts and meditation and recovery techniques from expert trainers all from the comfort of your home.
Soothe – Access spa treatments from home
What’s better than a hot stone massage? A deep-tissue massage that comes to you.
